Not a Techie... But

Nope, not me.

I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to computers and software and the internet.

And I proved it to myself in the past 24 hours.

Around 3:something Monday afternoon, I'm noticing problems with my Microsoft Outlook not sending emails. So, I searched online for a solution and ended up with a computer that would not connect to the internet.

I spent at least 6 hours on Monday night and another couple hours this morning trying different things until I found the solution. It wasn't found directly online, but I figured it out anyway.

Oh, and I lost my cellphone yesterday afternoon too, but found it this morning.

Fortunately you don't have to be a techie to do social media and marketing. Friday morning in Fort Wayne, I am presenting a seminar:
